No objections to the change but kdb doesn't use tsk->thread_group,
it uses do_each_thread/while_each_thread. Can we change this to
say that is osbsolete and racy to use while_each_thread() (that's
pretty much what the description of the patch that introduced
for_each_thread said)?
Additionally the debug_core uses do_each_thread/while_each_thread.
Presumably that would like to be changed as well?
